About Pink Sheet

Pink Sheet is the go-to source for authoritative regulatory reporting and in‑depth policy analysis for biopharma decision‑makers. We connect agency actions, guidance, advisory committee votes, and enforcement trends to what they mean for market access, approvals, and compliance—helping regulatory, legal, and strategy teams anticipate change and act with confidence.

As part of Citeline (a Norstella company), Pink Sheet leverages unique datasets and trackers and a global editorial team to deliver timely, expert‑driven insights across US and international regulatory landscapes.

We’re seeking an experienced, source‑driven journalist to lead US FDA/US policy coverage. You’ll break news and deliver sharp analysis on CDER/CBER decision‑making, guidances and rule making, advisory committees, user fee programs, enforcement/inspection trends, and congressional/HHS developments that shape the biopharma pathway to market.

You will thrive in a digital‑first newsroom—filing quick, accurate updates when news breaks and then building deeper, forward‑looking context as developments unfold.

Impact:
Your work shapes how the industry interprets agency decisions and policy shifts—and helps teams make better regulatory and market‑access choices.

Platform & reach: A trusted brand with unique tools and access; opportunities to publish across formats and engage directly with a highly specialized audience.

Mission:
As part of Norstella, we help the life sciences bring therapies to patients faster—combining best‑in‑class brands and advanced data to inform smarter decisions.

• Own a beat spanning FDA centers, leadership changes, rule making, advisory committees, inspection/enforcement dynamics, and Hill/HHS policy shifts; deliver exclusive stories, scoops, and enterprise features that surface the “so what.”
• Break news and file fast, accurate copy; follow up with analysis that interprets guidance, decisions, and performance signals for our professional readership.
• Develop and maintain high‑level sources at FDA, on Capitol Hill, within industry, patient groups, and policy circles; conduct on‑the‑record and background interviews to deepen insight.
• Use Pink Sheet assets (e.g., Performance Trackers, Global Pharma Guidance Tracker) to quantify trends and backstop reporting; collaborate with editors, data colleagues, and design to integrate charts/infographics where they add value.
• Cover advisory committee meetings and key policy forums (often in person), providing timely reporting and clear, decision‑focused analysis.
• Contribute to podcasts/newsletters and occasional special projects or explainer series; pitch ideas proactively and help evolve coverage.
• Collaborate across Citeline publications when stories cross commercial/regulatory boundaries; uphold our standards of independence, fairness, and data‑driven journalism.

• 5+ years of journalism experience (business, policy, or healthcare); strong track record of breaking news and delivering analysis for a professional audience.
• Expertise or strong familiarity with US FDA processes (guidance, rule making, advisory committees, inspections/enforcement, user fees) and the legislative/policy environment.
• Source‑building skills and comfort conducting interviews with senior regulators, industry leaders, and policy experts.
• Digital‑first instincts—ability to file quickly, then iterate with context; adept with CMS workflows and collaborating in distributed teams.
• Data curiosity—experience using trackers, datasets, and public filings to support reporting; basic charting/visualization skills a plus.
• Clear, precise writing with a strategic lens (what changes, who’s affected, what’s next); excellent editorial judgment and attention to detail.
